Proceeding the vinyl release, Unity Committee with another group, Rebels of Rhythm, formed Jurassic 5. Cut Chemist contributed avidly to the group, adding "Lesson 6: The Lecture" to Jurassic 5's eponymous EP release and producing the entirety of the record. Between then and other releases, he explored remixing along side DJ Shadow and Liquid Liquid, and performed doing outside work (sampling and scratching for Less Than Jake, and appearing with Ozomatli). From late 1996 to mid 1997, Cut Chemist recorded his album debut, Live at Future Primitive Sound Session, with Shortkut of Invisibl Skratch Piklz.
According to the official Jurassic 5 website, Cut Chemist will not be appearing on their forthcoming album (due July of 2006). In May of 2006, Cut Chemist indicated to Billboard magazine that he has left the group.
Cut Chemist's first full-length solo album The Audience's Listening, was released on July 11, 2006. The album includes the pre-released song "The Garden", which features a bossa nova style, Portuguese vocals from Astrud Gilberto's Brazillian song "Berimbau", and berimbau instrumentals.

Cut Chemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, yo, if you had much class
And style like I had
You would be so glad
I see why you so mad
I'm born with it
Like Marvin and Lauren with it
Yo, deform with it
The way we perform wit it
You gon' get it
Your rebuttals are long winded
The song ended
If you satisfy
[Marc 7]
It's all splendid
Yeah, like Kevin Lockerbie
Rockin' some beige Wallabees
Blinded by the mockery
[Soup]
Time is never stoppin' me
Drop the clue
Connected with Cut and Nu
On the 1-2
[All]
There's only one capable
Breaks the unbreakable
Melodies unmakeable patterns
Inescapable whatever we aim at
We line 'em up
The party is weak from the same rap
Time's up
We payin' homage as well as returnin' favors
Candy for your ears hear us now
Or hear us later
[Chali 2na]
We fully capable
Make no mistake if we
Break a few rules
Make a few moves
And drop a few jewels
On top of your views
Unstoppable dudes
Using third optical tools
To Rakaa few crews
You gotta confuse
Melodically
Use rap to sonically bruise cats
Harmonies move over
Chemically glued tracks the ripper
[Marc 7]
Formulated fax center
Orchestrated back bender
Sign, Post, Date and send ya
And take you out like placenta
When I'm in your eye end ya
Blend with the beat like shadows and black ninjas
[Akil]
Me the epicenter
When I'm rocking the mike
I'm from the earthquake state
Shakin' up your life no aftershock
We blow the spot from the top
We have to rock
Ain't that much time on the clock
Kick rocks
Keep it movin' now pick up the pace
We drop and hit the ground runnin'
Winnin' the race
With limited space and limited papes
At any rate we take your mind
To the realest of states
Cause
[Chorus:]
The flow gon' shine
We blow yo mind
With vocal rhyme
And music from my DJ in the back
Gon' shine
We'll blow your mind
With vocal rhyme
My DJ in the back is gonna
Yo, we payin' homage as well as returnin' favors
Candy for your ears hear us now
[Soup]
I put the Bob in the Bob Diddy
Spit it for y'all city
Use what Allah give me
Flip it if y'all wit me
Kinda black kinda bold
Ghetto soul beautiful
Still in it for you to hold
Cover girl centerfold
My spot, hot like lava rock
I get busy from Panorama City to Lompoc
You prefer hood medic procedure
Poetical breather with fever
Cause
[Chorus]
There's only one capable
Breaks the unbreakable
Melodies unmakeable patterns
Inescapable whatever we aim at
We line 'em up
The party is weak from the same rap
Time's up
We payin' homage as well as returnin' favors
Candy for your ear hear us now
Or hear us later
For those listeners who didn't feel that
We just had another one baby
In Cut Chemist's song "Break In," the talented artists Akil, Chali 2na, Marc 7, and Soup come together to create an upbeat and funky hip-hop track. The lyrics of the song are cleverly crafted to show off each artist's unique flow and style, while also still tying together in a cohesive and catchy manner. The overall message of the song is to pay homage to the art of hip-hop, while also demonstrating the group's own skill and ability to "break the unbreakable" and create unique patterns and melodies.
Akil starts off the song with a confident and boastful verse, claiming that he was born with class and style, just like Marvin and Lauren. Chali 2na comes in with a verse that showcases his ability to deform and perform with the beat, leaving his opponents long-winded and defeated. Marc 7's verse is all about how splendid everything is, from his outfit to the music they're making. Soup's verse is full of wordplay and metaphors, with lines like "I put the Bob in the Bob Diddy," showing off his lyrical prowess.
The chorus of the song ties everything together by reiterating the group's message of shining and blowing minds with their vocal rhymes and music. They're paying homage to the genre that has brought them together, and they're doing it in a way that's confident, catchy, and fun.
